SUMMARY:[Historikertag 2018] The dream of Christian unity. Crusading ideology and crusading plans as means to overcome the fractions of Early Modern Europe
DESCRIPTION:In a great part of the pertinent historical literature we find crusades described as something “medieval”, a phenomenon that found its rather inglorious end in the late 14th century. The Austrian and Venetian wars against the Ottomans of the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Era are usually not referred to as crusades since they lacked overall European support and because of the dominant political nature of these conflicts. Such a perspective, however, underestimates the importance and longevity of the crusading ideology also in the Early Modern Era. In recent years an important strand of research on crusades in the 15th and 16th centuries has emerged which mostly deconstructed the usual classification of crusades as a purely medieval phenomenon. From the perspective of the Early Modern Era, crusading ideology can also be observed to have enjoyed substantial popularity until the early 18th century. Perhaps due to the increasing fear of the Turks all across Europe this ideology even became stronger in the first centuries of the Early Modern Era than it had been in the Late Middle Ages. In premodern Europe the summons to fight against the Muslims seem to have been an important strand of an incessant debate which may be considered one of the most fundamental substrates of an imagined European and Christian unity. Until 1700, the dream of the liberation of the Balkans, Greece, Constantinople and finally Jerusalem had great importance as a frame of reference for appeals for unity and reconciliation among the Christians. Thus, such appeals contained a highly integrative, at times even irenic momentum. In the panel we want to illuminate the phenomenon „crusade“ as an ideology, as a practice and especially as a discourse of premodern Europe from the specific vantage point of the Early Modern epoch.
